The Whack-a-Word game

I hope this might prove to be another enjoyable word game on this board.

 

The idea is this: the starting poster posts a word that represents a weapon (funny, serious, bizarre, whatever the case may be), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the attack. It can be as simple as "Aimed gun."

 

(If the weapon uses more than one word, it can be hyphenated but needn't be; it should be treated as one word. Ditto for the defence/armour.)

 

The second poster posts a word that represents a defence/armour to that weapon (again, it can be funny, serious, bizarre, or whatever), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the defence.

 

The second poster must then also post a weapon that starts with any of the letters in the preceding weapon word EXCEPT for either first or last letter, and use the word in a sentence describing the attack.

 

The responding poster posts in the same way as the second poster, and so on.

 

It can be written in the first person ("I raised my sword") or second person ("He/she raised his/her word").

 

For example:

POSTER 1:  JELLY-SWORD: I draw my wobbly jelly-sword from its scabbard and with a "ha!", I lunge forward.

 

POSTER 2: ELECTION POSTER: I raise my election poster and it deflects the attack.

 

LICORICE TANK: I get into my licorice tank and drive it forward menacingly.

 

POSTER 3: etc.

 

Would anyone like to start?

MISSILE RE-PROGRAMMING PICNIC BASKET - The man with the frayed blue jeans and pink shorts recognised the actions of the serial killer, so casually opened his MISSILE RE-PROGRAMMING PICNIC BASKET, and used it's contents to change the co-ordinates to those of the serial killer himself.

 

NOSY NEIGHBOUR NOSE-CHOPPING FENCE - He was at his wit's end with his nosy neighbour who was always sticking her nose through the gap in their dividing fence, so created a NOSY NEIGHBOUR NOSE-CHOPPING FENCE by affixing a sharp-bladed miniature guillotine to the top of the gap, which would drop when she next stuck her pointy nose through the hole.

HANNIBAL-LECTER NOSE-SAVING MASK - Inspired by the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" and Hannibal Lecter, the nosy neighbour created a sturdy mask that would allow him to safely stick his nose through the fence, and have  a good laugh too.

 

THE GRASS IS NOT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE - Jealous of his neighbour's beautiful garden and green grass, he invented a device to inject a poison from under the fence that existed between them. Such device (called Smart iKiller) would instantly kill the grass and the flowers in his neighbour's garden and transform it into a desolate landscape.

POISON-GARGLING JEEPER CREEPER - Thomas had observed the pea-green jealousy of his neighbour who couldnโ€™t grow so much as a cactus, and his security camera showed the installation of Smart iKiller. He planted the robust POISON-GARGLING JEEPER CREEPER in exactly the right position to catch the poison in its โ€œmouthโ€ and then spit it back out next door. His jealous neighbour would reap his own desolation.

 

NIOBIC PENCIL-END - The overworked employee wanted to embarrass her boss for having made her cry as he ranted at her. She had seen him sucking the end of his pencil many times, so she deftly substituted the pencils on his desk with identical ones with just one difference: the crying-inducing pencil end called NIOBIC PENCIL-END. The next time he sucked on his pencil, hopefully it would be in the middle of a conference and heโ€™d learn how horrible it was to be humiliated like that in public!

I-SHALL-NOT-CRY CONTACT LENSES - The mean, but clever boss sensed what his employee wanted to do and devised some sturdy contact lenses that not only saved him from crying, but even gave him the ability to stare at his papers and all his colleagues without ever blinking.

 

EXHILARATING COFFEE - The clever secretary put some laughing powder in her boss's coffee because he never showed any sense of humour, which made her feel quite depressed.

GRUMP-EMBEDDING ESPRESSO SYRUP - The humourless boss could taste the exhilarating powder in his coffee, and immediately added two drops of a dark viscous liquid called GRUMP-EMBEDDING ESPRESSO SYRUP, which countered any inclination to laugh.

 

ANTIQUE GILDED FRAME GAS - The youth curled up his lip at any antiques, deeming them snobby and out of touch with modern life, and he particularly disliked George Tenby the antiques dealer; he sneaked into the shop late at night and painted the frame of a costly 18th century portrait (right next to Georgeโ€™s counter) with a matching gold paint containing a deadly substance that would be released into the air and cause George to be struck down after an hour of inhaling the gas.

ANTIQUE PRESERVING AIR PURIFIER - As the contents of his shop could be quite delicate due to their age, George has installed the latest ANTIQUE PRESERVING AIR PURIFIER, which had the added bonus of removing any deadly gas that may emanate from the vandalised portrait frame.

 

ACME EXPLODING TENNIS BALL - He knew he could be a great tennis player, possibly even the best in the world, if only that gigantic opponent with the huge serve wasn't playing in every tournament he entered, so he replaced one of his opponent's beautifully bouncy new tennis balls with an ACME EXPLODING TENNIS BALL, which would explode when hit with his racquet and, while not causing any major injuries, would terrify the big server so much that he would no longer be able to hit the ball with any force at all.

NADIR RACKET - His smart opponent just laughed when he realized that one of his tennis ball had been maliciously modified, and quickly transformed his racket into a "nadir racket" that would completely and safely neutralize the prank invented by his jealous colleague.

 

LIP-SWELLING LIPSTICK - Her sister kept teasing her for not having lips as beautiful as hers (she was convinced to have the most beautiful, fleshy, sinuous lips in the world), so she added a chemical to her sister's lipstick that would swell her lips so much that they would protrude beyond the tip of her powdered nose.

DE-PUFFERFISH BALM - The sister was almost going to keep her lips at that gross size, but luckily sense prevailed and she grabbed some DE-PUFFERFISH BALM to reduce the swelling.

 

POOL-BOY AQUATTACK - The pool boy, envious of the pool-floating gin-sipping lifestyle of the rich families whose pools he tended, slipped a sachet of dubious contents into the first pool he was called to maintain that Sunday: his pool-boy aquattack ploy would see the pool suddenly attack the next person swimming in it or floating on it as if the water itself were made of various monsters fling themselves upon the person and scratch, bite, strangleโ€ฆ

ARMOUR SWIMSUIT - The rich people sensed something was wrong and contacted an inventor who created a special swimsuit for them that was as sturdy as an armour but at the same time didn't sink in the water so that they could swim perfectly safe and happy (the armour swimsuit also protected feet and hands).

 

PEPPER CHOCOLATE - Tired of her brother always stealing her chocolate, she put some pepper in all the chocolate bars in her room, waiting for her brother to steal them to have a good laugh.
